Reading/ Writing Workshop
Students will continue work in the Reading and Writing Workshops. In Reading Workshop, students will be reading the poetry of Shel Silverstein, Mary Ann Hoberman, and J. Patrick Lewis. They will study the tools of these famous poets such as simile, alliteration, and personification.
